National Redress Scheme
The National Redress Scheme provides acknowledgement and support to people who have experienced institutional child sexual abuse. It was created in response to the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse, which estimated that 60,000 people had experienced institutional child sexual abuse in Australia.
